Roselind went to such great lengths to escape from prison. Why didn't she just fade off into the sunset instead hanging around to hassle Bailey and other cops (and prolonging Roselind's obnoxious character a few more episodes.) She wanted John to shoot her so she wouldn't go back to prison. There wouldn't have been any chance of her going back to prison if she had just stayed outta Dodge.

Meanwhilst, over at Rookie Feds, how long is Simone going to live with daddy? I realize it's just a plot device, but if she got an apartment (with a roommate to share expenses as necessary), daddy wouldn't have any say about who Simone is "entertaining", and his friends wouldn't hassle him about his DD being a fed.

Yesss, the whole Rosalind storyline is getting tiring and I just wish they would move on already!!! They need to let it go and come up with something new.


Not into Feds, when they did the spin-off, I just didn't like Simone at all. As much as all of these shows are unrealistic, this one hits me as just ridiculous. I tried the first episode and felt the same, but I do agree that she needs to move out, BUT they are keeping him in for his character to give some variety and also help move some plot line along.
 
The whole "serial killer with a fascination for a team member" trope is a very old and tired cliche on television shows. Frankly, I wish writers would show more imagination. In this case, you'd think someone as smart as Rosalind would have quietly started a new life, far far away.

FTR, I'm also tired of "crazy family member who interferes with a character's career" stereotype. Worst, IMHO, is how every serial killer seems to have unlimited time and resources to stalk team members. Do they never sleep? Are they ALL independently wealthy?

All excellent points and so true, that is why it's getting so boring. The Rookie has such a strong premise and I really hope that they can get back on track with it!!
 

Well, I have three things that I want to see on the Rookie.

1. I want to see Henry and Bailey bond more (since she most likely will become his stepmom).

2. I want to see Lucy adopt Tamara.

3. I want to see a story line that mentions actual Castle characters (not just the former actors playing another part for a cameo). It could help tie up loose ends from the precursor that we never got. If Lucy and Tim can have doppelgängers so can Nolan. Kate doesn’t even need to appear on screen, she can have a stand in that we see from a distance being a senator. Nolan could be on duty and Castle could be himself trying to help out on the case. Kate could be taking care of those 3 kids at the end of the series or she could be a senator campaigning about something with congress, meeting with LA political elites. The possibilities are endless.

I absolutely hate Bailey, she is the most far fetched thing on this show for me. I really wish they found him a better love interest and I do wish we could see Henry more, such a great bond that father and son have!

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Bailey either. I almost didn't want her to be rescued.

Kate Beckett was a lot better character. Maybe we're spoiled.

Yesssss, exactly and they were perfect acting with each other, I just don't feel it with Bailey AT ALL!
 
I've only come across one woman in business who wore her blouse unbuttoned so much. We nicknamed her T*ts Magee. It's terribly unprofessional. Let alone to be a Fed who has to chase criminals. There'd be too much bouncing for me if I did that.

I had to look up Niecy Nash. I just call her the annoying lead character in Rookie Feds. I don't like her. She is far too pompous for being a rookie.

As a busty gal who used to chase bad guys, I kept my girls strapped down! I had to quit watching after the first episode. Her voice makes me nuts and I cannot take any more of her boobage. I get that TV needs to break from reality to be entertaining but the entire thing is so far off that it is distracting and annoying.

Years (and years) ago Johnny Carson asked Dolly Parton if she ever went jogging. She said no, she'd give herself a black eye.

She is awesome, but a poor choice for this role. I can't see this show hanging around long.
 
I really like Niecy Nash. That's why I'm watching Feds. Is it realistic? No. Is it fun? Yes!
